Sara Blessing admits she\u2019s scared. As she faces a life arguably full of options and opportunity, the recent graduate of Montana State University and founder of the local chapter of the Sunrise Movement feels disillusioned, angry and, yes, afraid. And the climate crisis, the concern on which she expected to focus her attention and efforts, is the proverbial tip of the iceberg. As she examines the world her forefathers built, she sees environmental decimation, income inequality, discrimination, social injustice, cronyism and a political wasteland directed and bolstered by an aging population that is so concerned with biting the hand that has fed them that they are unable to realize the untenable future they have created for their children. And their children\u2019s children.

And that, really, is the crux of Blessing\u2019s problem: how can she realize her only American Dream \u2013 that of having children \u2013 when she is bringing them into that selfsame future. In this podcast, Interchange Founder Tate Chamberlin and guest Sara Blessing attempt to reconcile the assumptions and concerns \u2013 absolutes and possibilities \u2013 surrounding baby boomers\u2019 social, political and economic legacy and its impact on generations to come.
